[Alexandr Korol]

the moon, then the sun, and what is the third? In many illustrations I saw this third one always present, especially in all kinds of alchemical drawings, where people were searching for the philosopher’s stone. And I began to dig into what it is, how they name it, and to understand the essence of it — because I realized that at the time they may have depicted it in their own way, but the essence is clear, and I just need to immerse myself in it all.

I send Big Alexander a photo of my book “Alternative History” Volume One, where I have depicted the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth. And I ask him:

— Is this it?
— Almost, looks like it.

And I realize that it’s not the one, but I’m close. I keep searching — what is it, then? And I understand that if there is the Sun and the Moon, then who is above the Sun and the Moon if He governs them? If I keep moving toward God, then maybe it’s the Universe, perhaps the Solar System. Maybe our Universe or the Solar System we live in is that final third element. Then I realize it doesn’t quite fit, because that would be the seventh element, not the eighth — that would be the seventh day, not the eighth.
